Would it be appropriate for me to add a new top level directory to share
kprobe test cases?  The systemtap cvs would be convenient, and even
though systemtap is really only a consumer of kprobes, if the kprobes
implementation has problems then systemtap will probably stumble across
some of those bugs.

Yes, we discussed adding a testing directory for the kprobes support. Having it in the systemtap repository would make things a bit easier. There are some example tests on the email list that shoulds be contributed to that, e.g. measuring the overhead of kprobe operations.
